Local History

When first settled about 1820, the village was called Catville from the initials of its proprietors, C. A. Trowbridge, and was given a post office of that name on April 3, 8160, with Moses R. Nowland as its first postmaster.  On March 20, 1868, it was renamed New Boston after the Massachusetts city, which had been named after Boston, England, a contraction of the original name of St. Botolph's town.
